Travel is a chance to learn a lot from new surroundings. As visitors, it’s expected we’ll take away from exciting experiences but these days, perhaps more than ever before, travelers are looking for routes to giving back as they travel too. Sustainable travel practices and innovative initiatives are popping up across California and one place to learn more about impressive conservation efforts when you find yourself on a windmill tour in Palm Springs.
Book a Tour That’s Fun, Educational, and Insightful
When you book an outing with Palm Springs Windmill Tours, you’ll make your way to 62950 20th Avenue and enjoy exploring a modern private wind turbine farm alongside a guide. It’s an opportunity to dive deep into the world of wind energy and how it’s transforming the landscape of sustainable living. Palm Springs Windmill Tours invite groups to hop in an electric golf cart and head out to learn about a farm that’s been thriving for more than 40 years.
Tours are an hour and 15 minutes long, and there’s an informational video to enjoy at the tour center before you set off on your adventure that runs about 15 minutes total. During tours, guests learn more about the multiple attempts at getting wind energy just right in the early 80s. Between then and now, the designs have come a long way and getting up close to one of the modern turbines on-site is a great opportunity to see just how impressive this technology is. Towering 400 feet high, wind turbines are complex structures, and your guide will explain more about how they work and how they contribute to the energy grid.
Types of Tours You Can Take
When you book your place with Windmill Tours, you’ll have options to pick and choose from a guided golf cart tour or a self-driving tour. Guided golf cart tours can be booked online and typically depart at 10:00 and 1:00 pm with each cart able to carry 5 passengers at a time. If you opt for the self-driving tour of the wind turbine farm, you’ll tour in your own vehicle using a comprehensive app on your smartphone to learn more about the ten stops along the designated route.
Tours begin at the tour center and self-guided outings take about an hour and a half to complete. Do plan on driving on gravel for this tour, and getting out to interact with exhibits along the way is encouraged. If you’re traveling with a canine companion in tow, they’re more than welcome on Windmill Tours as long as they remain leashed. Personalized VIP tours are also available at this turbine windmill farm upon request.
